Limitless sonic possibilities

Introducing the Oberheim OB-X8 Analog Synthesizer, Desktop Module – an iconic throwback to the classic Oberheim synthesizers of the 1980s. With two oscillators, two sub oscillators and four-stage envelope generators per voice, you'll have endless possibilities for crafting your own unique tones. With the all-analog signal path, you can experience the warmth and punch of classic sounds, such as those heard on classic tracks like "1999" by Prince, "Jump" by Van Halen, and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush.

Knob-per-function sound designing

At the heart of the OB-X8 is a knob-per-function interface, giving you direct access to all of its parameters. With this intuitive design, you can create your own unique sounds with ease and precision. From sculpting the perfect bass patch to creating vibrant atmospheres, the OB-X8 offers endless opportunities to explore and create.

The best of Oberheim's past and present

The OB-X8 Desktop Module combines the three different voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 into a single instrument. The individual filter types and other unique characteristics of each model have been faithfully reproduced, giving you the most authentic OB experience possible. You can even mix elements of different models to create sounds never heard before.
